Daruma - Linen Kogin Cloth - Red

This linen fabric from Daruma is specially designed for kogin embroidery. Its rectangular, vertically elongated weave results in stitched patterns making it ideal for showcasing traditional kogin motifs. The fabric is lightly starched, making the weave more visible and easier to stitch through. Daruma's Kogin Thread is made to match the spacing of this fabric, so we recommend using them together for the best results. The fabric measures 19.5" x 17.25" (50 cm x 44 cm) What is Kogin Embroidery? Kogin is a traditional sashiko technique from the Tsugaru region in northern Japan. It’s known for being stitched in odd-numbered counts, producing beautiful, geometric patterns. Unlike standard sashiko, kogin is typically done on linen fabric. Note: English instructions are included. Please note that there may be some scratches in the weave due to the characteristics of the fabric. FABRIC ONLY. Needles and thread available separately in our shop.
